Description
We should work on having these apps sync with us:
- GNOME Maps might become compatible this summer, ref Provide APIs to sync with gnome-maps #30, cc @Sumaid @mlundblad
- Marble would require a few changes to be compatible
- OsmAnd would be nice! Nothing like that yet. Discussion about sync at https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/2750#issuecomment-519973845
- Maps.me would be best since they are widely used, but they have a company behind them and already offer their own proprietary favorites backup.
- Organic Maps is a fork of Maps.me without the proprietary features. Discussion about sync at https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/622, and unfortunately they also seem focused on providing their own integrated backup only.
- CoMaps is a community fork of Organic Maps. Discussion about sync at https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/262
